Entering Malaysia with expired MM2H stamp and new passport
Hi fellow MM2Hers,
I need your advise on the issue of transferring remaining MM2H period to new passport.
I received my 10 year MM2H in 2016, at that time my passport was only valid through 2024, so the MM2H stamp has a validation date of July 2024.
My current passport bearing the original MM22H endorsement stamp (valid through July 2024) expires in December, i have already applied for a new passport. I will need to transfer the MM2H endorsement to my new passport.
However, the issue is that my current endorsement expires in July, but i will not be able to visit Malaysia until later in the year (October), at that time my current endorsement would have already expired and i will be carrying a new passport. Will there be a problem transferring the MM2H to my new passport (while the previous stamp has already expired).
Will i still be able to enter Malaysia on MM2H basis? if i am also carrying my old passport (with expired MM2H). Am I required to transfer the remaining period to new passport BEFORE old stamp has expired?
Your help is much appreciated

"I asked this question of my agent the other day as I will be in the UK when mine expires too. They said I can come back to MY and enter on a tourist visa and then get the MM2H stamp updated into my new passport when I’m here.
So you’d arrive on a tourist visa. Then change it over. I would carry all your documents as you won’t necessarily have a return ticket."...
Any comments from the MM2H gurus here ? ...seems like a valid response ...not to mention many save me an emergency trip to MY to get the new passport stamped before it expired
